Three pharmaceutical distribution companies -- AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health, and McKesson Corporation -- are in negotiations to settle with over 2,000 state, local and Native American tribal governments over their alleged roles in the nationwide opioid crisis, according to the source.

Teva is one of the biggest producers of generic drugs.

to the victims and surviving families, or to lawyers and the government?

Big pharma pushers don’t go to jail huh?

Freeze assets and allow no transfer to USA government. Thieving garbage.

A Real Tragedy 4 Biz. Now the Drug Co's will Pass those Charges Directly Back on the Consumer. The States think they R Accomplishing something. Think Again Idiots.

Now, where's the settlement from the US GOV'T for Iran-Contra distribution of Cocaine in Urban Cities across the country in 80s resulted in Jail/Crack Addiction?LindseyGrahamSC Regan and AGBARR did the exact same thing he's doing now Mueller Ukrainegate Covering their tracks.

This is a scape-goat method of resolution. There may things that Pharmaceutical companies can improve on and some Drs- but it is NOT the Pharmaceutical Co or most of the Dr's that fingers only point to.. addicts will get on the street what they want.

And nobody will spend a single minute in prison.

States will piss that away in a couple of years and have zero to show for it

Good start.

But they made hundreds of billions.
